Our Quilting Retreat

We had a great time on our weekend quilting retreat to Westhope Craft College ... 11 of us went... the time woo-oo-ooshed by so quickly it was quite unbelievabubble. We arrived at 4pm on Friday and we were all stitching at our machines by 5pm!! Not a moment was wasted... well, we had to stop top eat our meals... all prepared for us! We stitched until 10:15pm...
 Up again on Saturday morning, we were back at the machines by 8:30am and, apart from the 'foody breaks', we stitched right up to midnight!.. at least some of us did... some pooped out at 10pm... Sunday was more of the same, stitching and chatting and laughing and all, until 3pm when we sadly had to start packing up... it was all over, Lick-etty Split....
We will go again next year, we are planning on an extra day too...
If you are wondering, yes I did take too many projects. No I didn't get to do them all, though I stitched a little on most of them... but I did make another Bendy Bag... 6 of us made a Bendy Bag actually.
So here we are at home and back to normal...
I have a little 'weekend away lag'... it's a good job we only went two hours away...
I am soooo tired! ha ha ha
